guftugu jab muhaal ki hogi
baat us ki misal ki hogi

zindagi hai khayal ki ek baat
jo kisi be-khayal ki hogi

thi jo khushbu saba ki chadar mein
wo tumhaari hi shaal ki hogi

na samajh paenge wo ahl-e-firaq
jo aziyyat visal ki hogi

dil pe tari hai ek kamal-e-khushi
shayad apne zawal ki hogi

jo ata ho visal-e-jaanan ki
wo udasi kamal ki hogi

aaj kahna hai dil ko haal apna
aaj to sab ke haal ki hogi

ho chuka main so fikr yaron ko
ab meri dekh-bhaal ki hogi

ab khalish kya firaq ki us ke
ek khalish mah-o-sal ki hogi

kufr-o-iman kaha gaya jis ko
baat wo khadd-o-khal ki hogi

'jaun' dil ke khutan mein aaya hai
har ghazal ek ghazal ki hogi

kab bhala aaegi jawab ko ras
jo bhi haalat sawal ki hogi
